Inclusive Caring Communities

How can the inclusion of people with disabilities in the community be improved?

 

Objectives

The participative and inclusive research project Inclusive Caring Communities revolves around two questions: What is needed for the successful inclusion of people with disabilities in the community? How can organisations working with/for people with disabilities and people with disabilities themselves be a driving force in the development of inclusive communities? The project will try to answer these questions, provide new, inclusive impulses for the two communities that are researched and contribute of a more diverse and comprehensive understanding of Caring Communities.

Inclusive Caring Communities is a cooperation of three research partners: queraum, Forschungsbüro Menschenrechte von LebensGroß and University of Graz.

Implementation

The implementation is carried out in four phases:

Planning and preparation: In this phase, we specify the objectives and target groups, develop the research design and research and analyse data on the two districts of Graz.

Research: In this phase, the research team (queraum and Forschungsbüro Menschenrechte) carries out the participative research in the two communities. A range of research methods is applied.

Development: The results of the previous phases are analysed. The locally specific results are transformed into general propositions for the further development of inclusive Caring Communities.

Transfer: Interim results are transferred to the public (stakeholders, researchers etc.) during the entire research process. The main transfer takes place at the end of the project.
